Hare earned an MA (1962) and PhD (1971) in Linguistics at the Université Laval. In 1996 he was named Professor Emeritus at the University of Ottawa, where he had taught since 1966. His publications (single-author and collaborative) include: Les Canadiens francais aux quatre coins du monde: une bibliographie commentee des recits de voyage, 1670-1914 (1964); Les Imprimes dans le Bas-Canada, 1801-1840: bibliographie analytique (1967); Contes et nouvelles du Canada français, 1778-1859 (1971); Les patriotes, 1830-1839 (1971); Dictionnaire pratique des auteurs québécois (1976); La pensée socio-politique au Québec, 1784-1812 (1977); Anthologie de la poésie québécoise du XIXe siècle: 1790- 1890 (1979); Histoire de la Ville de Québec, 1608-1871 (1987); Joseph Lenoir, Oeuvres (édition critique) (1988); and Dictionnaire des auteurs de langue française en Amérique du Nord (1989). (Source : Dictionnaire des auteurs de langue française en Amérique du Nord , pp.666-667.) Custodial: The material was collected by John Hare and acquired after his death as a gift of the Hare Estate. Accession Year: 2005 Languages: English and French. Scope & Content: This collection includes over 120 Canadian broadsides and printed blanks, predominantly pre-Confederation items from the Province of Quebec. Included are legal or judicial documents, including summons from the Quebec Court of Common Pleas, affidavits, court notices, warrants, property agreements, deeds of land sale and land applications; and military documents such as service records and return of provisions forms. Municipal printed forms issued from the City of Montreal or City of Quebec include building permits, house and property assessments, business tax assessments, and bills/receipts for water and gas rental. There are also cashier’s cheques and purchase receipts issued by the Bank of Montreal and Bank du Peuple. Among the numerous receipts gathered in the collection are those for shipping; college payments; church membership and pew rental; insurance premiums, including Alliance Life, Phoenix Fire Insurance, and the Quebec Fire Office; merchants James Ferrier, Moss & Brothers, and Robertson, Masson, Strange & Co.; post office rental; and payments issued to surveyors working under Alphonso Wells, Provincial Surveyor. Other material includes public 1 notices, religious items such as prayer cards and church tickets, and ephemera from the St. Jean-Baptiste Society. A significant part of the collection is comprised of items relating to the early printing, publishing, and book-selling industry in Quebec. There are a number of bills and receipts issued for advertisements printed in the Montreal Gazette, Quebec Mercury, L’Aurore des Canadas, la Minerve, Montreal Herald, and Moniteur Canadien, as well as from Booksellers and Stationers such as Armour and Ramsay and William Neilson. Please see the following page for a complete list of the Canadian and Quebec printers represented in the collection. Arrangement Note: The material represented in this collection arrived as part of a larger accession of autographed letters, documents, bound manuscripts, and books. The majority of the documents in this collection had been placed individually or in groups in transparent plastic sleeves and housed in a 3.5-inch binder. The remainder had been placed in legal-sized envelopes in an archival box. While some items were grouped together based on a common origin, there did not appear to be any chronology or solid subject arrangements. Accordingly, the items have been re-arranged chronologically, with undated items located to the rear of the collection, and placed in two 13 cm legal- sized archival boxes. Finding Aid Description: Item-level descriptions in the finding aid are organized as follows: Title as it appears on document [with clarifying information about the type of document or creator in square brackets]. – Type of material. – Language of material. – Date as given on document. – Scope and content note. Signatures appearing on the document. Printer of the document if known. A Tremaine reference is given if found. Any dates or names that are uncertain are indicated with a question mark. Associated Material: Other Hare material has been catalogued individually by the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library. 2 EARLY QUEBEC PRINTERS REPRESENTED IN THE COLLECTION Andrew Harvie Armour & Hew Ramsey Robert Armour (also printed as Andrew H.

Brown arrived in Quebec in September 1763 with the intention of co-founding a weekly newspaper with Thomas Gilmore. The first issue of the Quebec Gazette/La Gazette de Québec was printed on 21 June 1764. The first periodical to be published in the Province of Quebec, the Gazette followed the American model of four two-column pages, with English on the left and the French translation on the right. Brown explained the bilingualism of the paper to be “the most effectual Means of bringing about a thorough Knowledge of the English and French Language to those of the two Nations now happily united in one in this Part of the World.” Brown and Gilmore also published the first books in Québec, including a catechism, legal works and Abram's Plains (1789), a collection of poems by Thomas Cary (DCB; thecanadianencyclopedia.com). Item reference: 2 (also noted on 1, 3, 5, 6, 7). CAUCHON, JOSEPH-ÉDOUARD. Born 31 December 1816 at Quebec City; died 23 February 1885. A descendant of one of the oldest families in the colony, Cauchon was a journalist, businessman, and politician. With his brother-in-law Augustin Côté, Cauchon launched Le Journal de Québec on 1 Dec. 1842. The paper replaced the French edition of the Quebec Gazette, which had ceased publication on 29 October as a result of insuperable financial difficulties. Cauchon was proprietor from 1842 to 1862 and editor from 1842 to 1875, except for the years 1855 to 1857 and again in 1861 when he was a member of the government (DCB). Item reference: 66. CINQ-MARS, FRANÇOIS. Birth and death dates not found. Founder of L’Aurore des Canadas (Montreal), a political, literary, and commercial newspaper that first appeared on January 15, 1839. The paper sought to restore social and political peace in Lower Canada by seeking a basis of agreement between French Canadians and their governors, stressing understanding between the two linguistic/national groups of French and English, and to defend the Catholic clergy. (DCB: Jean Baptiste Boucher-Belleville; Joseph Emery-Coderre). Item reference: 61 (also noted on 60). DUVERNAY, LUDGER. Born 22 January 1799 in Verchères, Quebec; died 28 November 1852 in Montreal. Duvernay was a prominent printer, newspaper man, and 4 politician. As a young man, he founded and edited “La Gazette des Trois-Rivières" (1817), "Le Constitutionnel" (1823), and "L'Argus" (1826). As a newspaper printer he is perhaps best known for La Minerve, which he purchased from Augustin-Norbert Morin in 1827. Duvernay took the place of Jocelyn Waller as the editor of the Canadian Spectator, which he published until 1829. In August of 1829 he acquired the Montreal printing house of James Lane, where he remained until 16 Nov. 1837 producing La Minerve in the heart of the business quarter. From this shop Duvernay supplied the various kinds of printed material useful to businessmen, members of the liberal professions, and officials; he was, from 1829 to 1837, the principal producer of books and pamphlets in the city. Duvernay is also known as the founder of the Association Saint-Jean-Baptiste (today, the Societe Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Montreal) in 1834. (DCB; Catholic encyclopedia online). Item reference: 62 (also noted on 83, 106). FERRIER, JAMES. Born 22 October 1800 in Fife, Scotland; died 30 May 1888 in Montreal, Quebec. Ferrier, who emigrated from Scotland to Montreal in 1821, was a merchant, politician, and railway promoter. He opened the first store on Rue Notre-Dame, a residential street which soon became part of the city’s commercial hub, and by the 1830s was considered to be among the wealthiest Montrealers of the mid-19th century. Ferrier was elected in 1845 to serve as Montreal’s mayor, and, in May 1847, was appointed to the Legislative Council, where he remained until confederation. Like many other prominent businessmen of the era, Ferrier served as a justice of the peace and held the post of lieutenant-colonel in the local militia.

  • The First Epidemic of Asiatic Cholera in Lower Canada, 1832
    Medical History, 1977, 21: 411433 THE FIRST EPIDEMIC OF ASIATIC CHOLERA IN LOWER CANADA, 1832 by GEOFFREY BILSON* I. LOWER CANADA IN 1832 IN 1832 Quebec and Montreal were the majorcities of Lower Canadawithpopulations of twenty thousand and thirty thousand respectively. The rest of the population lived in smaller towns and villages scattered along the shores of the St. Lawrence. When the ice melted in spring, much of the travel in the province was done by boat along the river systems, and the St. Lawrence was dotted with hundreds of craft of all sizes in a traffic that was difficult to regulate. Conditions in the towns and cities of the province were the usual ones of the early nineteenth century. In Quebec, most of the population lived closely packed together below the cliff that dominates the city. Montreal was less densely settled but the bulk of the population lived crowded together in the cove.' The houses were small, dirty, and oftenjammed with permanent and transient residents. "It was not unusual for six or seven families to occupy a tenement formerly inhabited by one" according to one commentator who reported that in Quebec in 1831 "in a house containing two rooms. fifty persons were found . ."2. Water for the residents came from wells, from water-carriers, or directly from the river itself, and the water of the St. Lawrence was well known for its evil effects. The houses and the streets in cities and towns were dirty and piled with garbage. Slaughterhouses operated within city limits and the refuse was frequently dumped in the streets.

  • AC Buchanan and the Megantic Experiment
    A. C. Buchanan and the Megantic Experiment: Promoting British Colonization in Lower Canada J. I. LITTLE* Between 1829 and 1832 a British settler colony was established on the northern fringe of Lower Canada’s Eastern Townships, in what became known as Megantic county. The main aim of the chief instigator and manager of the project, “emigrant” agent A. C. Buchanan, was to demonstrate the viability of state-assisted “pauper” colonization, as long advocated by Colonial Under- Secretary Robert Wilmot-Horton. Buchanan’s project was successful insofar as he convinced over 5,300 immigrants, the majority of whom were Irish Protestants, to follow the Craig and Gosford roads to the uninhabited northern foothills of the Appalachians. But the British government failed to apply this “experiment” elsewhere in Lower or Upper Canada, and the British settler community did not expand far beyond the townships of Leeds, Inverness, and Ireland because of their isolation from external markets. Instead, French-Canadian settlers moved into the surrounding townships, with the result that the British-origin population became a culturally isolated island of interrelated families that slowly disappeared due to out-migration. De 1829 à 1832, une colonie de peuplement britannique a vu le jour au Bas- Canada, en périphérie nord des cantons de l’Est, dans ce qui deviendra le comté de Mégantic. L’instigateur et chef du projet, l’agent d’émigration A. C. Buchanan, avait pour objectif premier de prouver la viabilité, avec le soutien de l’État, de la colonisation par les « pauvres » que préconisait depuis longtemps le sous- secrétaire aux Colonies Robert Wilmot-Horton.

  • Language Attitudes Towards Canadian French and English, 1691-1902: the Emergence of the Canadian Voices
    Language Attitudes towards Canadian French and English, 1691-1902: The Emergence of the Canadian Voices by Beau Brock A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in French Linguistics Department of French Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Beau Brock 2014 Language Attitudes towards Canadian French and English, 1691- 1902: The Emergence of the Canadian Voices Beau Brock Doctor of Philosophy in French Linguistics Department of French Studies University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This dissertation examines the origins and development of attitudes (in the guise of beliefs and stereotypes) towards Canadian French and Canadian English during the 18th and 19th centuries, as expressed primarily by foreign travellers to North America. By conducting a comparative study of these two languages, I aim to build a bridge between French Canadian studies on Canadian French, and Anglophone Canadian studies on Canadian English, two fields which have historically been distinct and separate. The time period studies (1691-1902) is marked by major political and social change, including the English Conquest, the creation of Upper and Lower Canada (and later the United Province of Canada), and the Dominion, all of which had major, lasting effects on the development and status of both languages. In order to study the evolution of language attitudes during this period, I employed content analysis on the metalinguistic and cultural commentary in a wide variety of texts, including travel journals, scholarly and newspaper articles, monographs, and prescriptive texts, written in French and English. My analysis has shown that British commentators were the most critical of both languages (and peoples), and relied almost entirely on beliefs and stereotypes rather than empirical evidence to ii support their claims.

Over several decades, a large stock market, high taxes on inherited income, a sound institutional environment, and capital account openness accompa- nied the rise of widely held firms. At mid-century, the Canadian large cor- porate sector was primarily freestanding widely held firms, as in the mod- ern large corporate sectors of the United States and United Kingdom. Then, in the last third of the century, a series of institutional changes took place. These included a more bank-based financial system, a sharp abate- Randall K. Morck is Stephen A.

  • Fifteen Years in the Propaganda and Other Roman Archives, 1975-1990: Was It Worth It?
    CCHA, Historical Studies, 58 (1991), 99-114 Fifteen Years in the Propaganda and Other Roman Archives, 1975-1990: Was It Worth It? by Luca Codignola Universita di Genova Over the past fifteen years, an array of calendars, inventories and finding aids have been produced that have thrown much new light on the relations between North America and the Holy See, on the development of the Catholic community on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and on the history of English- and French-speaking North America as a whole. These are due to a number of researchers, both Italian and Canadian, who have systematically investigated the Roman ecclesiastical archives with the constant and unfailing assistance from the National Archives of Canada, the Université Saint-Paul, and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. These researchers are Monique Benoit, Luigi Bruti Liberati, Giovanni Pizzorusso, Gabriele P. Scardellato, Matteo Sanfilippo, Nicoletta Serio, and this writer. Together, they have examined the archives of the Sacred Congregation “de Propaganda Fide” from 1622 to 1830 and from 1878 to 1914, and various fonds of the Vatican Secret Archives proper for the years 1600-1799 and 1878-1914.1 In this short paper, I will not list common achievements, ongoing projects, and future developments, since this 1 The various fonds at the Vatican Secret Archives include the following series: Nunziatura di Francia, Dataria, Segreteria di Stato, Archivi della Congregazione Concistoriale, Archivi della Congregazione per la Disciplina dei Regolari, Delegazione Apostolica Canada, Delegazione Apostolica Stati Uniti, Epistolae ad Principes, Epistolae Latinae, Spogli dei Cardinali, Congregazione Affari Ecclesiastici Straordinari, Congregazione dei Riti, Segreteria dei Brevi, and Fondo Monsignor Benigni.
